<cvs-rtag>

Tags all sources in the remote repository with a given tag.

Unlike tag, the rtag command acts only on sources that are in the repository. Any modified sources on the local file system will NOT be tagged with this command, so a commit should be performed before an rtag is done.

NOTE: Although a working directory is not necessary to perform the command one must be specified in order to remain in compliance with the cvs library.

Parameters

Attribute

Type

Description

Required

tag

string

The name of the tag to assign or remove.

True

act-on-date

datetime

Indicates the revision date of the file that the tag should be applied to.

False

act-on-tag

string

Indicates the repository tag that is acted on for the tag command. Note if move-if-exists is true then the tag specified is moved to the revision of the file on the HEAD of the branch specified.

False

force-head

bool

Indicates whether the head revision should be used if the act-on-tag or the act-on-date tags are not found.

False

move-if-exists

bool

Indicates whether the tag specified in tag should be moved to the current file revision. If the tag does not exist then it is created.

False

recursive

bool

If a directory is specified indicates whether sub-directories should also be processed.

False

remove

bool

Indicates whether the tag specified in tag should be removed or not.

False

commandline

string

Command-line arguments for the program. The command line arguments are used to specify any cvs command options that are not available as attributes. These are appended after the command itself and are additive to whatever attributes are currently specified.

False

compressionlevel

int

Compression level to use for all net traffic. This should be a value from 1-9.

NOTE: This is not available on sharpcvslib.

False

cvsfullpath

file

The full path to the cvs binary used. The cvs tasks will attempt to "guess" the location of your cvs binary based on your path. If the task is unable to resolve the location, or resolves it incorrectly this can be used to manually specify the path.

False

cvsroot

string

The cvs root variable has the following components:

[protocol]:[username]@[servername]:[server path]

protocol: ext, pserver, ssh (sharpcvslib); if you are not using sharpcvslib consult your cvs documentation.

username: [username]

servername: cvs.sourceforge.net

server path: /cvsroot/nant

False

cvsrsh

file

The executable to use for ssh communication.

False

destination

directory

Destination directory for the local sandbox. If destination is not specified then the current directory is used.

False

failonerror

bool

Determines if task failure stops the build, or is just reported. The default is true.

False

if

bool

If true then the task will be executed; otherwise, skipped. The default is true.

False

module

string

The module to perform an operation on.

False

passfile

file

The full path to the cached password file. If not specified then the environment variables are used to try and locate the file.

False

password

string

Deprecated. The password for logging in to the repository.

False

quiet

bool

Indicates if the output from the cvs command should be supressed. The default is false.

False

readonly

bool

true if the sandbox files should be checked out in read only mode. The default is false.

False

readwrite

bool

true if the sandbox files should be checked out in read/write mode. The default is true.

False

reallyquiet

bool

Indicates if the output from the cvs command should be stopped. The default is false.

False

timeout

int

The maximum amount of time the application is allowed to execute, expressed in milliseconds. Defaults to no time-out.

False

unless

bool

Opposite of if. If false then the task will be executed; otherwise, skipped. The default is false.

False

usesharpcvslib

bool

true if the SharpCvsLib binaries that come bundled with NAnt should be used to perform the cvs commands, false otherwise.

You may also specify an override value for all cvs tasks instead of specifying a value for each. To do this set the property sourcecontrol.usesharpcvslib to false.

If you choose not to use SharpCvsLib to checkout from cvs you will need to include a cvs.exe binary in your path.

Nested Elements:

<arg>

When passed to an external application, the argument will be quoted when appropriate. This does not apply to the line parameter, which is always passed as is.

Parameters

Attribute

Type

Required

dir

directory

The value for a directory-based command-line argument; will be replaced with the absolute path of the directory.

False

file

file

The name of a file as a single command-line argument; will be replaced with the absolute filename of the file.

False

if

bool

Indicates if the argument should be passed to the external program. If true then the argument will be passed; otherwise, skipped. The default is true.

False

line

string

List of command-line arguments; will be passed to the executable as is.

False

path

<path>

The value for a PATH-like command-line argument; you can use : or ; as path separators and NAnt will convert it to the platform's local conventions, while resolving references to environment variables.

False
